Daily Analysis Spreadsheet?

[dtx]

I would like some ideas making a worksheet for my daily analysis. Is anyone willing to share with me their daily worksheet or spreadsheet? I would like to have a brief idea of what I need to include to point me in the right direction.

Thanks and happy trading

You really need to make your own. Your method of analysis may require different set of data. Use an excel spreadsheet to plot down highs, lows, open, close, gaps, etc...

Take note of market action or any economic numbers coming out. I'll post a picture of my spreadsheet but can't send it over. Hope this gives you an idea.


Note: I have 4 different pages on the spreadsheet. The first page is basic data, second is pivot points, third is any key price levels, and last is stats for all my setups/trades.

That's like asking someone to hold your hand for you when you cross the street dtx. If you are familiar with excel, you should be able to make your own. If you are not willing to put in the time to make a simple spreadsheet, you are probably jumping into the wrong career.

Nice spreadsheet Soul. On your weekly pivots do you use the last week (M-F) or the last 5 trading days and on your monthly pivots do you use the complete last month or the last 30 days?

Hey Maverick,

For the weekly pivots, I use the last week (M-F). For the monthly pivots, I will use the last month. Besides the daily pivots, all I really need to do is change the numbers before the opening of every Monday and at the beginning of every month.

Excel makes my life alot easier. Simply use formulas and input the high, low, and close to get the pivots.

I dont find them inaccurate but I have my own preference for plotting pivots.. I also like to customize the lines to dotted, solid, and different colors. I also like the option of enabling or disabling midpoints. Antonio (ant) made a custom pivot point indicator for me on TS... I will post them in the indicator forum. Im trying to design the forum in a custom format... should be done in a few hours.
